⚠️ Free Trial Became Repeated Charges With No Subscription or Way to Cancel
I originally deleted my review in good faith after the developer responded, believing they wanted to resolve this. I have since emailed them repeatedly, without a response.
I downloaded PixTuner from the App Store after seeing a TikTok advert in june of this year. To access the advertised free trial, I was asked to process a payment through Apple Pay. I did NOT knowingly give the developer my card details or sign up for a separate account.
I never received the free trial. I never obtained an account or usable subscription. Nothing has EVER appeared in my Apple subscriptions or purchase history, and I have had no way to cancel anything.
Yet the developer appears to have obtained payment credentials through that Apple Pay transaction and has repeatedly attempted to take money from my account. Months later, on 22 August 2026, they attempted another US$89.99.
I have had to contact Mastercard through my bank and have the merchant blocked at source simply to stop further attempts.
The developer claims all payments are processed through Apple, yet there is no Apple subscription and I cannot cancel anything. Their support email also doesn’t work.
I have reported this to Apple, but have received no meaningful resolution. Now my reviews warning other users don’t appear to be publishing.
Whatever the explanation, this is an extremely serious and deeply concerning experience. I believe the circumstances warrant investigation for potentially fraudulent or deceptive charging.
DO NOT USE THIS APP OR PROVIDE PAYMENT DETAILS.

Scam

Hi, thanks for reaching out - and we are sorry for the frustration. Subscriptions and payments for this app are handled entirely by Apple through your Apple ID, not by us directly. That means we don’t have access to billing details or the ability to charge, refund, or cancel subscriptions on your behalf.

To check, manage, or request a refund, please follow these steps: • Open Settings on your iPhone • Tap your name (Apple ID) • Go to Subscriptions • Select the app and confirm the status For refund requests, you can contact Apple directly here: https://reportaproblem.apple.com/ If you need any help using the app or have questions about features, If you ever have questions, ideas, or need support, feel free to reach out anytime at support@matrixsolution.xyz
TOTAL FRAUD - THEY IGNORE CANCELLATIONS
Response from developer
We're sorry to hear about your concerns. Based on the information you shared, we suspect there may be some confusion with another app or purchase. The amounts you mentioned do not match any subscription plans offered in our app. We only offer PixTuner as an iOS app through the Apple App Store and do not operate any versions on other platforms. Additionally, all subscriptions and renewals for our iOS app are processed exclusively through Apple's official in-app purchase system. We cannot charge customers directly or process payments outside of Apple's billing system. If you believe the transaction is related to our app, please send your Apple purchase receipt or transaction details to support@matrixsolution.xyz, so we can investigate this thoroughly. If the transaction did not originate from our app, Apple Support or your bank should be able to help identify its source. We're committed to resolving any genuine issue as quickly as possible.

Free trial
Response from developer
Hi, we understand why this is frustrating, and we’re sorry for the confusion. Our app does not have the ability to charge users directly or manage subscriptions — all purchases and billing are handled securely by Apple through your Apple ID. Because of this, we cannot start, cancel, or hide subscriptions on our end. If a charge was made, it was processed by Apple, usually when a free trial converts into a paid subscription or when a purchase is confirmed with your Apple ID. In some cases, subscriptions may not appear if they were made under a different Apple ID or through another Apple account on the device. We recommend checking your subscriptions here: • Open Settings → Tap your name → Subscriptions or via Apple’s website: https://reportaproblem.apple.com/ If you still don’t see it, the best next step is to contact Apple Support directly - they can look into your account, identify the charge, and issue refunds if applicable. We take concerns like this seriously and do not engage in any hidden or unauthorized billing. If there’s anything app-related we can help clarify, we’re here to help. Thank you.

Здравствуйте, спасибо за ваш отзыв — нам жаль, что у вас сложилось такое впечатление. В приложении действительно есть платные функции, но вся информация о цене и пробном периоде показывается заранее перед подтверждением через Apple. Мы не списываем деньги напрямую — все платежи обрабатываются системой Apple. Если что-то было непонятно или возникли проблемы, пожалуйста, напишите нам — мы постараемся помочь. Подписку можно в любой момент проверить или отменить в настройках Apple ID. Спасибо за ваше мнение.
